How can you standardise 0.01M edta?

EDTA can be standardized by using a number or reagents, although this is often unnecessary, as it can be purchased in pure form. Standardizing against magnesium is done by dissolving 0.24g magnesium in 25mL 1M Hydrochloric solution, diluting the mixture out to 1 liter, taking 25mL of that solution and adding 75mL of water, 2mL of pH 10 ammonia buffer and a pinch of indicator ground with salt. Then titrate the EDTA solution that is being standardized until the incicator solution turns blue. The purity of the EDTA solution will then be indicated by the amount of solution used, by using a table or calculation software.
